Ohio State University-Newark Campus

The Ohio State University-Newark Campus offers a dynamic and accessible path to an Ohio State degree. As the largest of OSU's regional campuses, it's known for its significant growth in enrollment, attracting a diverse student body, including many from outside Licking County, due to the increasingly competitive admissions at the main campus. Students here benefit from a close-knit community while enjoying the prestige and resources of one of the nation's leading public universities.

Established in 1957 with the opening of Founders Hall, the campus has steadily expanded its footprint and offerings. Key milestones include the opening of Hopewell Hall in 1976, Adena Hall in 1978, student apartments in 1986, and the modern Reese Center in 2004, which provides state-of-the-art classrooms, an auditorium, and a conference center. Since 1971, Ohio State Newark has also maintained a unique and highly successful partnership with Central Ohio Technical College (COTC), sharing facilities and resources to meet the region's diverse educational needs.

Academically, the campus is home to 50 distinguished faculty members dedicated to student success. Students have access to the Newark Campus Library, housed in the Warner Center, which offers a substantial collection of print and digital resources, including over 50,000 print volumes and access to over 9 million unique items through the wider Ohio State University library system and OhioLINK consortium. The student experience is enriched by a range of facilities, from a gymnasium and workout facilities in Adena Hall to a student lounge, cafeteria, Cyber Café, and the Martha Grace Amphitheatre, which serves as a cultural hub for both students and the wider community.
